Ohhh, this is a good policy. I'm taking this!

Sallie Mae has been calling me every morning at 8:15 and every afternoon around 2:00. I would be having a better week if they didn't harass me every single day (and yes it is every single day).

We don't need bots. It's concerning some people think any community /needs/ bots. That type of infinite growth mentality is wack and I don't subscribe to it. Like you, I block almost every bot I come across and my experience only continues to improve.

I don't find bots useful. I was on Reddit for years and I didn't use any of them. I don't think the door should be closed on bots permanently but for now I'd rather not see them, they're no better than spam to me.

Chuck looks (and sounds!) so sweet.

Yeeeah... It's crazy how many quality of life features Misskey and Firefish have over Mastodon. I'm thinking about making the switch myself despite the big difference in UI.

To be fair, according to the article this project is less than a month old! I'm sure it will continue to improve.

Yeah. Beehaw isn't on version 0.18 and Jerboa isn't compatible with anything below that version, so I figured that's why I went from no crashes to a bunch of 'em. I switched to Liftoff for now.

When I had an iPhone 3+ years ago, Apollo was the only way I interacted with Reddit. Once I switched to Android, I cycled through the choices before settling pretty happily with Boost. I don't intend to access or use Reddit on mobile at all once June 30th rolls around, and after the CEO's public comments since the protest, I don't really want to access it on desktop either.

I don't see this as a problem at all. The internet has always been this way. If there was one singular Linux community in the Fediverse and you had to go there to discuss the topic, you'd just have Reddit. And Reddit already exists.

After living in this apartment for 4 years, I've finally put blinds up in the bedroom window. Blinds can really change the whole atmosphere of a room, so install them in your windows if you haven't already!

Reddit has its fair share of "repeat" subreddits. This isn't unique to a decentralised platform.

Personally, I think Spez is counting on users to think the way you do — make a big fuss, protest by leaving for 48 hours, and coming right back even if nothing has changed. Reddit has no reason to backtrack if they can just wait for the storm to blow over and everyone returns to business as usual after two or three days lol.
